Just bought my first hammock (the double). Guess I need to start doing more research on ridgelines and whoppie slings.

Darn you guys! this is literally the first post I ever read after joining this forum and you already have me spending money...
Just picked one up in olive with the bug net. My dad and brother are going to snag one too. Anyone know a link for a review on these? Got any specs?
There are some specs on the woot site. Or you can go to yukon's website. basically the same thing. There are some reviews here also.. Do a search in "advanced search" for yukon in the TITLE of the post.
Ah Ha... The tarps are still available from the Hammock page. Where you choose the model of the hammock you will see the option for the "Hammock Rainfly". With a limit of 6. Too bad I've already ordered, I wouldn't be able to explain to the spouse why I needed more than the 3 I already ordered.

Thanks for the heads up! I can officially join the hammock community once my order arrives!
If only they delivered to Canada.
Got my 2 rain fly's ordered to cover the 2 double hammocks I got from Woot last time they went on sale. Passing these Yukon hammocks and tarps to the sprouts as mom and I will be kicking it in new Clark's by Saturday!
For $20, I figured I order the tarp and give it a try.
Figured the tie out lines and stakes that are included are overweight so will replace with something that weighs less.. Should make a decent car camping tarp or loaner tarp.
